Abstract

This study aims to determine the experts’ opinions and the design of the learning continuum on aspects of biological resource management reviewed at the level of competence and characteristics of specific pedagogical material from elementary to high school. The method used in this research was survey by giving questionnaire to the experts. The sample of this study is convenience sample, which is 85 lecturers. This research was conducted at several State and Private Universities in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Central Java, East Java, West Java, Jakarta. Results of this study indicate that the experts believe that the aspect of biological resource management has been taught in the tenth grade of senior high school (SHS) with cognitive levels (CL) “understanding” (C2) and “applying” (C3), and in seventh grade junior high school (JHS) with C2 CL. The design of learning continuum aspects of the management of biological resources from the FGD results based on the opinions of experts is that most of the specific pedagogical materials have begun to be taught at the JHS level with C2 CL, then continued at the SHS level with C3 CL, and there are also some specific pedagogic materials that have begun to be taught at the SHS level with C3 CL.
